I've ridden motorbikes since I was teenager, my first bike was a a Suzuki AP50 moped, "modified" with a Micron Exhaust and dropped handle bars:
Suzuki RG125 Gamma, passed my UK motorcycle test on this one:
When I passed my test I bought a crashed Suzuki RGV250 and salvaged a new
fairing and other parts from some local racers (who replace the original
fairings with lighter one piece fiberglass ones, this is the bike I rode
while at University in Hull and Leeds:
In Australia the compulsory component of insurance in included in the
registration (road license) so I could afford a "real" bike, my first one
was a Kawasaki ZXR-750H1:
When this started to get a little long in the tooth I bought my first Honda CBR600 an F3 model:
We got a little short of money at this point and I traded down after a six
month break to a Honda CBR600F2:
2000 - 2004 Honda a CBR600F4:
2004 - 2006 Honda CBR600F4i:
And my current bike is a 2004 Honda CBR600RR:
late in 2003 i picked up a second hand 1999 Giant TCR2 road bike, it has an
"Compact Road" double butted aluminium frame, Carbon fibre forks and an 18-speed
Campagnolo Veloce group set, I'm using it to do a bit of excercise during lunch
breaks ...
